Excited dogs and large potholes in your running surface don’t mix! That’s right…I manged to twist my right ankle up pretty good tonight. Talk about pain! Worst part was the 2 km hobble back home with the dog. I guess it could have been worse, I could have been 4 or 5 km from home.
I was debating with myself whether or not to take Ellie along with me tonight and it looks like I shouldn’t have. I’m not saying it’s her fault, but if she wasn’t with me I definitely wouldn’t have hurt myself. Ok, I guess I am saying it is her fault.
Anyways, needless to say I didn’t finish my 5 miles tonight and my long run this weeekend is looking doubtful. We’ll see how my ankle feels tomorrow. Could be worse I suppose, it could be the week before the marathon.
Update: Here is a pic of my ankle the next morning
